A: Each license can only be used for 1 MT5 account at a time.

• 1 license = 1 MT5 account at a time. You can use the same license for multiple MT5 accounts, but only 1 account can trade at a time.
• You cannot use the same license for multiple accounts at once
• If you want to use multiple accounts, you need to purchase additional licenses
• The license is tied to a specific account

A: Yes! The EXE version has limits:

Details:

• 1 computer = 1 MT5 account controlled
• You can install multiple MT5 instances on the same computer but only 1 account can trade
• The EXE is tied to your computer's hardware ID. When you change computers, you need to update your license in package management

A: There are significant differences between the 2 versions:

Benefits:

• Better communication and monitoring - Displays more detailed information
• More features - Includes additional advanced features
• Independent interface - Runs independently, does not need to run inside MetaTrader
• Easier management - Has its own dashboard for monitoring
• VPS support - Can run on VPS

Limits:

• 1 PC or VPS can only control 1 MT5 account

Benefits:

• Can be used on multiple MT4/MT5 terminals
• More flexible - Each license for 1 separate account
• Easy installation - Just copy the file to the Experts folder
• Independent operation - Each EA on each chart

Limits:

• Fewer features than the EXE version
• More limited communication and monitoring
• Requires MetaTrader to be open to operate
• Need to purchase additional licenses for each MT4/MT5 terminal if you have multiple accounts

• Use EXE if you only have 1 account and want more features
• Use EA if you have multiple accounts and want flexibility
• Use EA if you want to run on multiple different computers

A: NO! The EXE tool cannot and does not store your login information.

Reasons:

• MT5 Security: MetaTrader 5 has its own security system and does not allow external tools to access login information
• Not necessary: The tool operates via API and webhook, login information is not needed
• Safe design: The tool only reads trade information and sends orders, it does not access sensitive data

How the tool works:

• The tool connects to MT5 via authorized API
• Only reads necessary trade and account information
• Sends trading orders via webhook from TradingView
• Does not store any login information

• MT5 login information is protected by MetaTrader
• The tool does not have access to sensitive information
• Data is encrypted and secure
• Complies with security standards

A: YES! Can be used on VPS:

VPS requirements:

• Windows operating system (Windows Server or Windows 10/11)
• MetaTrader 4/5 installed
• Stable internet connection
• Sufficient RAM and CPU to run MT4/MT5

Notes when using VPS:

• Ensure VPS runs 24/7
• Check internet connection regularly
• Backup EA configuration
• Monitor logs to ensure EA operates
